• Conscious Motherhood Ideal of Future Woman. v By VICTOR D. BRENNER. Sculptor end Dciltfncr of tlnwlil Head Cant. < | ONSCIOUS motherhood is the ideal of the future. But C«! by conscious motherhood Ido not mean something «I too sublime for understanding. PERFECT WOM- ;; ANHOOD IS TEMPERED BY A DASH OF THE J} J l DEVIL Unconscious motherhood is the appeal of < >**•••***# weakness and soft beauty in our old ideals. The height of woman’s mental attainment will be conscious motherhood. The woman of tomorrow will combine an intelligence and sensuality that are perfect. OUR OLD IDEAS WERE NOT INTELLECTUAL The bteautiful body was there with its appealing suggestion of motherhood, but it drooped and was without the animation of mentality. at st R On the other hand, the most intelligent women of today are too intelligent, too cold, all brains. They are better than the old ideals, but are not right. ALL THAT I MEAN 18 BUMMED UP WHEN YOU REMEMBER THAT OUR FIRST IDEALB WERE TYPEB OF UNCONSCIOUB MOTHERHOOD. THEY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT CHILDREN INTO THE WORLD UNTHINKINGLY, A 8 ANIMALS DO. MY IDEAL WOMAN WILL FULFILL HER DESTINY WITH CONBCIOUSNEBB THAT 18 A BACRAMENT OF THE SOUL.

Corporation Tax Is of Doubtful Constitutionality. By Hon. WILLIAM S. BENNET of New York, Congressman and Former Judge. CHE corporation tax as enacted at the last congress IS UNDULY BURDENSOME. It is a new and additional tax of a character utterly foreign to precedents in times of peace. r TO MEET A CONJECTURAL DEFICIENCY, WHICH IF IT EXIBTB CAN BE BUT TEMPORARY, WITH AN ELABORATE SYSTEM OF TAXATION OF A PERMANENT CHARACTER, IMPOBES ON THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY NOT ONLY THE NEW AND UNNECESSARY TAX. BUT THE UNNECESSARY EXPENSE OF INSTALLATION AND OF OPERATION. THIS IS NEITHER STATESMANSHIP NOR BUSINESS. IT WILL NOT PRODUCE REVENUE WHEN NEEDED. IF THERE IS ANY DEFICIENCY EN THE CURRENT REVENUES, IT WILL BE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. NOT A DOLLAR CAN BE COLLECTED UNDER THIS LAW UNTIL JUNE, 1910. It unjustly discriminates. The small stockholder in the large corporation pays his share of the tax; THE LARGE BONDHOLDER DOES NOT. The few large industrial corporations can shift their share of the tax on to the consumer, while the ordinary corporations must pay theirs from the profits due their own stockholders. The thousands of insurance companies and associations must pay the full tax on every dollar of receipts, less losses and the comparatively small salaries paid to the few officers, while the large industrial corporations pay only on that portion of the income remaining after the deduction of all operating cost, including labor. THE HOLDER OF EVERY INSURANCE POLICY IS AFFECTED, BUT NOT THE HOLDER OF EVERY BOND NOR THE PREFERRED STOCKHOLDER. HOLDING CORPORATIONS, THE FACILE INSTRUMENTS OF MONOPOLY, SHALL PAY NOTHING. In some states —New York, for example—it is double taxation. Its constitutionality is doubtful. A tax of this character is alwavs in doubt until its constitutionality has been passed upon by the supreme court. It is unrepublican and un-American. So far in the history of our nation our national government has not levied taxes in times of peace based on class distinctions, express or implied. EACH CITIZEN HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT AS HE HAS USED ARTICLES PAYING A DUTY OR TAX. This system we have consistently maintained, and generally with popular approval. THE ENACTMENT OF THE CORPORATION TAX LAW MARKS A POLICY THAT SUGGESTS THE BNARL OF THE LAWLEBS MOB, THE SNEER OF THE ENVIOUS AND THE WHINE OF THE UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT PROGRESSIVE AND HAS NOT THE CONSTITUTION AS ITS GUIDE.

Future of the Flying Machine. By THOMAS A. EDISON. 'fM I E ar $ f fice to face with aerial navigation ON A SCALE lf| OF WHICH WE HAVE NEVER DREAMED. In ten years flying machines will be used to carry the mails. They’ll carry passengers too. THEY WILL GO AT A SPEED OF A HUN DRED MILES AN HOUR. There is no doubt of it. Anything within reason can be accomplished. The commercially SUCCESSFUL FLYING MACHINE IS WITHIN REASON. I NEVER BAW AN INVENTION DEVELOP MORE RAPIDLY. I WtBH MINE WOULD COME THAT WAY—MINE COME HARD. 80ME 8 WAY OR OTHER I FEEL THAT THE VERY FACT THAT THE FLYING MACHINE 18 COMING 80 EABILY 18 PROOF THAT THE PREBENT EXPERIMENTERS WITH THE AEROPLANE ARE ON THE WRONG TRACK. My criticism o's the aeroplane type of flying machine is that it is a machine for sports. The flying problem now consists of 75 per cent machine and 25 per cent man. That’s not right. THE COMMERCIALLY BUCCEBBFUL FLYING MACHINE MUST BE A DEVICE THAT ANY MAN OF INTELLIGENCE CAN LEARN TO OPERATE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, AND, HAVING LEARNED, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MACHINE MUBT BE CERTAIN, SURE. LITTLE OR NOTHING MUST BE LEFT TO THE PECULIAP SKILL OF THE OPERATOR.
